EVENT RECAP: Fashion X Dallas

EVENT RECAP: Fashion X Dallas

Fashion X Dallas Host

If you’ve been following us on Instagram, you know that we had so much fun attending Fashion X Dallas this past weekend. From the creators of Fashion Week Austin and Fashion Industry Gallery (F.I.G.), Fashion X Dallas was one of the biggest fashion events to hit the DFW area, showcasing emerging designers from all over!

We were so lucky to be a part of the host committee for the event, which included front row seats with up close and personal views of the runway collections. We were amazed by all of the talented designers participating in the show, and definitely left with a ton of new favorites! Though I have to say the gowns by Mysterious by NPN and Ese Azenabor really had me head over heels, all of the designers went above and beyond for the show! Be sure to check out complete list of designers who participated.
When we weren’t seated for the shows, we loved roaming in and out of all of the Fashion X Dallas galleries finding some of the most amazing accessories and jewelry collections! From Laura Pierson to Blaine Bowen, and Allison Mitchell to Brackish, the amount of lust-worthy items was almost too much to take in!
Take a look at some of our photos from the event and click here to learn more about the event and participating designers! Be sure to add Fashion X Dallas to your must-see events of 2015 – Trust us, you will not be disappointed!

Trend Alert: Feathers

Being the girly-girl that I am, I can’t think of a better way to add a little sass to any outfit than with feathers! Feathers are popping up everywhere this season from a dash of feather-trim on a tee to a full on feathered skirt. Feathers are so feminine and flirty, and instantly make any outfit more fun!

For night one of Fashion X Dallas (recap coming soon!), I paired this amazing feather-trimmed blazer with a black mini dress, opaque tights, and platform ankle boots for an updated all-black ensemble. Before the event, we grabbed cocktails at one of our favorite hotels in Dallas, The Stoneleigh, where the drinks are delicious and the decor is even more fabulous! Check out how I channeled this season’s feather trend and shop some of my favorite feather looks below!

My go-to look on a cool Fall day is always a cozy sweater, jeans, and a classic pair of boots. LL Bean boots have been a casual style staple of mine ever since my days at boarding school, and I love pulling them out of the back of my closet as soon as the temperature takes that first big drop! Though they are perfect for snow and rain, that doesn’t stop me from wearing them on a perfectly sunny yet chilly day around the city!

Recently we have had a lot of requests for posts on menswear, so we are so excited to share one of our favorite menswear lines with all of our readers today! Last week we attended Need’s First Anniversary party here in Dallas, and we had such an amazing time celebrating the success of this creative and innovative brand for today’s sophisticated gentleman. Created by one of our friends from SMU, Matt Alexander has fully implemented his British charm and entrepreneurial spirt into his curated men’s retailer and lifestyle magazine, Need.

For the brand’s one year anniversary, Need launched a full re-design, an all-exclusive collection with some of the world’s top brands, and introduced a brand new swath of features for the modern gentleman shopper. By offering a limited amount of products each month, such as clothing, artwork, alcohol, literature, furniture, or coffee, Need simplifies the way of shopping for men and provides only the best quality products for the modern gentleman. From his incredible event with New York Fashion Week’s Men’s Day to his consistently sold-out collections and hundreds of thousands of members, Matt Alexander has proven his knowledge and expertise of quality and refined menswear.
